Description infirit 2017-05-02 19:51:49 UTC 
While working on some AccelGroup code in python I found that gtk_accel_group_connect conflicts in the binding with g_signal_connect. So instead of connecting signals AccelGroup.connect connects the keys instead. In PyGtk they actually ran into the same problem and decided to rename it in the bindings [1]

The workaround is easy but it would be nice if we can change this for Gtk4 it breaks API anyway. I was thinking of to rename is to gtk_accel_group_connect_key and gtk_accel_group_connect_key_by_path or something similar. Same rename of course for the related disconnect functions.

Based on some quick discussion on python-hackers [2] opening a bug to request the rename for Gtk4.
